New Genshin Impact 4.7 Banner Leaks Hint At Promising Character Changes

Summary New and updated Genshin Impact 4.7 leaks show promising changes to the rerun banner characters, including Furina.

Players may be excited for the opportunity to obtain Furina in rerun banner for stronger and more competitive team comps.

Alhaitham's inclusion in Version 4.7 banners may not make much of a difference for some players, despite how strong he is.

New updates to character banner leaks in Genshin Impact 4.7 hint at promising changes to what was initially poorly received information. The action RPG is still in the early weeks of Version 4.6, a patch that introduced the playable version of Arlecchino and added a new area to the south of Fontaine, but attention is already shifting away to the next patch, which includes rumors of a new endgame mode in Genshin Impact. It seems like there is a lot of content incoming with the update, including three new playable characters, but some players are more interested in rerun heroes.

A newer update to the rumored banner structure in Version 4.7 has allegedly been obtained by the leaker known as FullStopChan and shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” on Reddit. According to the leaked information, Clorinde, Alhaitham, Sigewinne, and Furina are the featured 5-star characters in Version 4.7. Clorinde and Sigewinne have already been confirmed as new characters during the patch and leaks have highlighted them as 5-star units, so their presence does not come as much of a surprise, though the rerun characters mentioned are what changed from previous character banner leaks in Genshin Impact 4.7.

Previous Characters Were Good, But One Character Desperately Needs To Rerun

The rumored changes to the banner reruns sound good, especially when compared to the previous leaks. Prior to the leak from FullStopChan, reports were that Wriothesley and Navia were the chosen 5-star rerun characters for Version 4.7. Both are top-tier DPS units in the game, but the main point of attention during the initial leaks was the absence of Furina. The 5-star Hydro character is overdue a rerun and having her postponed in favor of Navia was not well-received by players who missed their chance of getting Furina in Genshin Impact’s first banner run.

"The rumors of a Furina rerun banner are extremely positive news, especially considering how crucial she is in competitive team comps."

Now, it seems like players will be graced with another chance at getting Furina. The Hydro character is currently one of the best units in the game. A lot of that reputation is due to her versatility as both a sub-DPS with exceptional Hydro application abilities and a reliable healer in several different team comps. Furina’s ability to change roles on the spot rather than rely solely on how she is built is also notable, as players can use her as a sub-DPS and then change to a supporting role when the main healer in Genshin Impact needs extra help.

Alhaitham’s presence in the new Version 4.7 leak is less attractive, however. Despite him being the best Dendro DPS unit in the game, he can be a little bit complicated to play with if players are not keen on mastering rotations or aiding him with the best possible team comp. Alhaitham is not to be avoided, especially for players looking to create a Dendro reaction team, though having him substitute Wriothesley in the leaked Version 4.7 banners does not make much of a difference.

Alhaitham’s last appearance in banners was in Genshin Impact 3.7, between June and early July 2023. Wriothesley only appeared once during his debut banner in Version 4.1, between mid-October and early November 2023.

For now, leaks should be considered with caution, as they may be incorrect or subject to change. Rerun banners, specifically, should be taken with an extra grain of salt, as they may be altered at the very last minute. Nevertheless, the rumors of a Furina rerun banner are extremely positive news, especially considering how crucial she is in competitive team comps and how challenging the leaked endgame mode in Genshin Impact 4.7 is said to be.
